Sportsbook overview

Now that you have the app on your smartphone, you can log straight in and browse all the marketing and wagering opportunities. Joining PointsBet Indiana if you don’t have a player account is very easy to do. Just like any regulated US sportsbook, you will need some necessary information to sign up. Details you need include your full name, address, date of birth, last four digits of your SSN, email, and your cell number. You also get to pick a username and set a password.

You can create an account with the book anywhere in the US, but you must be in a regulated state where they operate before you can place a wager, these being Indiana, Illinois, New Jersey, Colorado, Iowa, and Michigan. Sign up now at https://pointsbet.com to get your account details, and you can claim one of the new player welcome bonuses too.

When you first open the app on either Android or iOS (or the mobile site for that matter), you will need to allow access to your location. Doing this is necessary to prove that you are inside Indiana state borders and legally eligible to gamble. You will only need to do this once, but if you update the app or clear your cache, you may need to do it again. If you are using a PC or laptop, you may need to use an extension on your browser to confirm your location.

With the app’s unique style and features such as points betting, players are in for a real treat when wagering with the PointsBet Sportsbook Indiana. It has already caught on here in the United States, but it’ll be interesting to see if it ever gets as big as it is in its native country of Australia.

PointsBetting explained

Here’s how it works: Let’s say you bet $100 on the Bears-Colts game, and the Colts are three-point underdogs (+3). If the underdog Colts end up winning the game by the score of 24-17, you’ll earn $100 for each point you were right on. That calculates to $300 for the three-point spread they covered and an additional $700 for the seven points they won by – a total of $1,000!

If you bet $100 on the Colts to cover the three-point spread on any other sportsbook, and the same outcome occurred, you’d only walk away with the typical winnings from that $100 bet – about $90, assuming there were -110 odds on the three-point spread. If you are new to football betting, then have a read of our football odds explained guide.

It’s important to note that PointsBet does have the traditional wagering options that most sports betting fans know so well, so you’re not tied down to this newer, unique method. They have some of the best-priced fixed-odds too, so are well worth checking out. When compared to odds from BetRivers or the BetAmerica sportsbook, they are always competitive and well priced.

Welcome bonus, app home screen, and an in-game screen

PointsBet Mobile App

As shown above, the PointsBet mobile app can be downloaded for iOS/Android devices. You don’t need to download the app to access the mobile platform if you don’t wish to do so. You can just visit https://pointsbet.com and use the mobile site, which works in the same way as a downloaded app. The actual layout of the app is simply gorgeous, and it appears like many of the bugs and mishaps that we found when first launched in other states, have been ironed out a long time ago.

The black color scheme with red icons works a treat, and visually, the app is one of the best looking on the market. What is very impressive is how they’re able to fit so many menus and options into the limited real estate screen space of a smartphone. It doesn’t feel too cramped yet has loads of wagering options and sports to bet on. The main menu, found on the left, holds everything you need to get around, including Home, Promos, Betting academy, Blog, App download page, In-Play options, Boosters, and then a list of all the sports available to bet on.

Now in terms of sports available to bet on the app, bettors can find:

• Aussie Rules Football
• Baseball
• Basketball
• Boxing
• Cricket
• Cycling
• Darts
• Football

Bonus Information

PointsBet IN has one of the most generous new player bonuses going. The same bonus is available for bettors in Indiana, and all other states when signing up at https://pointsbet.com. New players can get 2 Risk-Free Bets up to $2,000. How does the bonus work? Well, you can get up to $500 Back If You Lose Your First Fixed Odds Bet, and also up to $1,500 Back If You Lose Your First PointsBetting Wager. It is one of the most generous new bet account offers available to bettors in the Hoosier State.

Is there a PointsBet Indiana promo code? Yes, there is! Use promo code GAMBLEIN to claim your free bet offer with the book. Just use any of the links on our site to claim your bonus offer. When signing up with the sportsbook, the PointsBet promo code should already be filled in on the account creation page.

Please note, PointsBet df1000 is an old promo code that no longer works in the US.

The promos with PointsBet are, without a doubt, some of the best of a US sportsbook, especially when it comes to risk-free betting offers. They have promos every single day, as well as regular bonuses for existing customers. They have one of the best free bet offers for IN players. Some of the most popular, standout ones are:

Make it rain: Place a $100 spread bet and get $3 in bonus for every three-pointer your team makes. Available on bets, including Knicks, Nets, and 76ers.

Score first TD: If your team scores the first touchdown of the game you win!

105 Spread on All NFL games: PB will offer -105 spread on all NFL games this season.

As well as these offers above, there are daily boosts and offers available, so make sure you check that promos tab daily to see what’s available. Don’t limit yourself to just one book, use a few sportsbooks to compare odds and offers. You can see what other top-rated Hoosier state sportsbooks are available on our IN betting app guide.

Sportsbook Features

PointsBet has some exciting features that separate it from the competition and make it stand out from what can be a crowded sportsbook market. No Juice NFL Lines give bettors more bang for their buck, allowing them to get the amount they wagered in return for winning bets. Random Booster Odds are available, giving bettors an even bigger chance to cash in on their bets – for instance, randomly making the odds on a bet go from +200 to +250. You can find the booster odds hub located in the main menu, just tap on the option, and you can see all the boosts available which usually are available on several sports.

Early Payouts give bettors the chance to get a good chunk of their money on near-winning bets instead of waiting for the final buzzer. This is getting more and more popular in the US as bettors look for a way to claim some cashback from bets they don’t think will come off. Features like this have made it one of the most popular mobile sportsbooks; the PointsBet app NJ has gone down a storm with players.

PointsBet is one of several Indiana sportsbooks with Cash Out. This lets you end your bet early if you don’t think that it will come in. It is an awesome feature that lets you get some of your stake back if you want to finish your bet before it’s settled.

PointsBet also supports one of the more innovative ideas, which is the Name Your Bet feature. This is where you can tweet @PointsBetUSA with an idea for a bet you’d like to see on the board – if the people at PointsBet like your idea, they’ll put it up there. It’s a convenient tool for the more peculiar bets you may want to place.

One of the great features found on the app is the Revis Betting Academy. If you aren’t familiar with this, it is where former New York Jets/New England Patriots/Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Darrelle Revis breaks down everything you need to know about PointsBet. It is an excellent resource for new bettors to look at and can help you narrow down your bets and answer those burning questions you may have about using PointsBet.

Where could the app be improved?

There aren’t many complaints to mention from the PointsBet IN app, but the overwhelming amount of wager types and information could be too much for newer or traditional bettors. PointsBet will be a massive hit with those coming over from the daily fantasy sports circle. However, those just looking to place a simple win/loss/spread wager might find somewhere else as a more straightforward app. It is but a minor issue as most bettors who download and use the app will find it one of the best out on the market.

If you compare the layout, set up, reliability compared to say some offshore books, PointsBet is one of the best ones to use.

Where can you use the PointsBet Sportsbook?

The operator is now live and legal in a handful of states in the US. You can bet using the Sportsbook from PointsBet in these states:

• Indiana
• New Jersey
• Illinois
• Iowa
• Colorado
• Michigan

Support

PointsBet customers will probably have a ton of questions, and we hope this review helps them out. However, if they’d like to chat with someone directly on the site, it’s a relatively easy experience. At the bottom of the app (or even mobile site or official website), users have a whole list of ways to get their questions answered by email, live chat and also help page where you can get answers to the most common questions bettors have.

Cashier & Banking Options

PointsBet doesn’t have the most deposit and withdrawal methods, but it won’t be hard at all for customers to find one that works for them. For starters, PointsBet has the most extensive list of banks available for debit card or ACH eCheck – if your bank isn’t on this list, you might need to find a new one. Customers can also use a credit card – VISA or MasterCard – which is convenient for most.

Lastly, there’s a PointsBet Card that mirrors a prepaid debit card. You can fund it online with your credit or debit card and then have your winnings put back onto it. You do have to apply for this card after logging into your account and going to the deposit screen.

Once you have applied, you can use a digital version of the PointsBet card until the physical one comes in the mail. When you have the card, you can use it anywhere VISA or MasterCard are accepted, including at ATMs.

What about withdrawals with PointsBet? How long do they take? Times will vary according to the withdrawal method (of which there are very few), but you can get your winnings in:

• Credit/debit cards – 3-5 banking days
• ACH/e-check – 3-5 banking days

The disappointing thing with PointsBet is the severe lack of withdrawal options. We hope this changes in the future and would like to see some eWallet options like Skrill as a withdrawal option. The operator does not support PayPal as a deposit method, but there are other IN sportsbooks that use PayPal if this a requirement.

Final Thoughts

PointsBet Sportsbook would always find it hard to establish themselves in the US, especially against such stiff competition from established names like DraftKings & FanDuel, but to their credit, they are doing a great job. With more competition in the US on the way from the likes of Barstool sports, they will need to keep at the top of their game to keep winning players over. We love the PointsBet app and can recommend it to players wanting to bet on their Android and iPhone.

All payouts will be automatically credited to the account when the bet is settled. At PointsBet, you will find the unique points betting option.

Betting Markets & Available Sports

PointsBet online sportsbook has a great selection of sports available. For the most part, any sport that you can think of is available on PointsBet Sportsbook. So, customers should be quite happy with the selection offered.

Betting Markets

• Basketball
• Ice Hockey
• Baseball
• Soccer
• Tennis
• Football
• MMA
• Golf
• Boxing
• Aussie Rules
• Rugby Union
• Cricket
• Cycling
• Darts
• Motorsports

Typically, the online sportsbook offers promotions centered around many sports events during the year. So, you can make the most of your bets by waiting for these promotions. And, you can typically find a promotion offered for your favorite sport.

Points Betting Explained

As its name suggests the brand is a sportsbook that specializes in points betting. Points betting is not the same as traditional sports betting. When you place a points bet, the profit or loss you can get from a bet is not fixed until the end of the game.

In the event that the bet a customer places wins by one point or unit, the customer should win one times the stake. If the bet wins by two points or units, the customer will then win twice the stake placed. And so on and so forth.

However, if the bet loses by one point or unit, the customer would lose one time the stake. It the bet loses by two points or units, the customer would lose twice the stake. And so on, and so forth.

Other Bets Offered

There is also a range of bets offered based on minutes or seconds in games. PointsBet NJ sportsbook specializes in the types of NBA bets and games that it has. Some of the NBA bets offered on the website are not offered anywhere else.

The brand also has outright win bets like many other sportsbooks. And, more specialized bets like the first team to score, time of the first penalty, and time of first shot - just to name a few. So, you can really place a wide variety of bets that are not offered on any other sportsbook. Plus, you can place the bets you may be used to from other online sportsbooks.

PointsBet Odds

The PointsBet Sportsbook offers moneyline odds or American odds on the website. The odds that are listed are comparable to the odds listed on other online sportsbooks. So, that is a good sign when looking to create an account with this online sportsbook website.

However, because the online sportsbook has its own types of bets that are unique to the site, there are different odds as well. The brand has odds listed that are exclusive to the types of bets that they alone offer. So, it is impressive to see such a wide variety of odds used.

The website offers the points spread odds, the total odds, and the moneyline or American odds for different sporting events. Most events have all three listed. So, this will help to inform the bets you want to place.

For instance, the Boston Red Sox will be facing the San Diego Padres. We will look at the Moneyline odds for this sporting event. The Boston Red Sox have -131 Moneyline odds to win the game. The San Diego Padres have +111 odds to win the game.

So, that means that if you place a bet on the Boston Red Sox to win the game, we can figure out what your profit will be if they win. Say you place a stake of $100 on the Boston Red Sox to win. The payout you would receive in the event of a win would be $176.

Now, say that you placed a bet on the San Diego Padres to win the game. And, say that you place the same stake of $100 on the game. The payout that you would receive would be $211.

Streaming and Live Betting on PointsBet

Now, this is where the PointsBet website is lacking. Unfortunately, at this time, the operator does not have a live stream option. So, this lowered its overall rating in this review.

However, the PointsBet website does offer live in-game betting. So, this improves the live rating for the online sportsbook. And, it does make it more exciting to place bets using the online sportsbook.

PointsBet Mobile App

The PointsBet app is available on both iOS or Android. However, keep in mind that the Google Play store does not yet allow real money betting apps. So, you will have to find it on the website to download it. In order to download the app, you need to have sufficient memory on your device and have an up to date operating system.

You can use the PointsBet app to place real money bets as long as you are in New Jersey, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Colorado and now Michigan. Naturally, you must be of legal betting age (21+). So, the mobile app does a great job of recreating the same features and feel of the desktop website.

Pointsbet Android App

PointsBet Payment Options

Now, this is another section where the PointsBet sportsbook is lacking. Unfortunately, the online sportsbook and the app do not accept a wide variety of payment options. The payment options listed on the website are: Visa Card, Mastercard, and Online Banking.

With online banking, you can use a wire transfer, or an eCheck/ACH transfer. However, there is no eWallet option like PayPal listed. And there is no cash option like Cash at the Cage listed.

So, because many other online sportsbooks offer more options for payment, the brand, unfortunately, loses points for this oversight. Hopefully, more payment options will be added soon.

Our Verdict

So, our PointsBet Sportsbook review is very favorable. VegasInsider gives the PointsBet sports betting app 4.5 stars. Overall, we recommend this sportsbook for experienced bettors because it has a more traditional user experience. Plus, bettors have access to a wide variety of prop bets to bet on their favorite sports.

PointsBet specializes in sports betting markets NFL, MLB, and NBA. Plus the points betting system allows you to win or lose as much as 10x. The more you’re right, the more you win.

However, the lack of a live streaming and payment options is a detriment for the PointsBet sportsbook. On a positive note, the great in-app experience and customer service make it worthwhile to bet at PointsBet.
